TIMETABLING

Timetables

The 2015 Semester 1 Timetable will be published for students on Monday 8 December. All requests for changes to the 2015 Semester 1 Timetable must be submitted to Timetabling via the School’s TLO.

Students plan their forthcoming academic program and class allocation preferences based on knowledge of their timetable and teaching activities in their units. Consequently changes to the Published timetable must be kept to a minimum.

It is incumbent on TLOs, Course Coordinators and HOS / DHOS to ensure that information used to prepare the timetable is accurate and changes to the Published timetable that affect scheduled days and times are made only in exceptional circumstances. Valid reasons for changes to the final timetable include:

other unforeseeable and extraordinary circumstances outside the control of the Faculty, School or organisational unit.

Change requests will include the reason for the change. Where the reason for the change is not in accordance with any of the above, the change request must also include an explanation of why the change was not identified in the Draft/Provisional Timetable phase and a supporting statement of endorsement by the Head of School.
